Generally have three dials, one for temperature settings, one for burden measure, and one for wash sort (i.e. consistent, delicates and lasting press). Each one clothes washer is diverse and you may as well read the directions for your machine before doing any laundry. Generally machines have the directions glued within the top for simple access.

4. Sort your Clothes • Set aside any clothing that has “hand wash” or “dry clean only” on the tag; these don’t go in the washer. • Sort through your pile and any clothing that needs to be washed on delicate cycle (according to the tags) should be placed in a separate pile. • All non-delicate (durable) white clothing (socks, plain underwear, etc.) go in a separate pile. • Sort the remaining clothes according to shades of color, placing all dark colored clothing.

5. Prepare the Washing Machine • Determine the size of your load, and place the dial on the selected size. Be careful not to overfill the washer with clothes; the clothes should be loosely placed (not packed) and should not be piled higher than the agitator (the pole inside the center of your washer). • Set your washer dial on the appropriate temperature settings.
